Fulfilling these objectives in an area characterised by high groundwater tables required a toilet technology that does not contaminate the groundwater, and thus does not threaten public health (unlike pit latrines that can contaminate the groundwater).

The case study is part of the Compilation of 27 case studies on sustainable sanitation projects from Sub-Saharan Africa.
